Beautiful family run hotel, the food was exquisite, beautifully presented and very tasty, the Robert was extremely tentative seeing we had brought a bottle of wine came along with a wine cooler, the attention to detail was second to none, he also gave us great advice on visiting a beautiful local church which was a must see , and only around 5 miles to visit Gretna Green and a few hundred yards from the English/Scottish Border we just can’t wait for a return visit Thank You for a memorable visit.

On the way home we dropped in for a couple of the superb loaves of bread and a selection of cakes . Superb quality the tearoom was also very busy and a wee queue forming for carryout hot pastries always a good sign in a baker

Lovey comforting food. Brilliant (and rightfully popular) strawberry tarts, with perfect, crunchy casing. Excellent pastry on the quiches, the perfect texture and flavour! Friendly staff and obviously popular with the locals AND tourists.

Their link sausage rolls are great. Soft fluffy morning roll and 3 sausages. Fills you up. Their quiche pies are also delicious with both meat and veggie options. But their speciality is the haggis, bean, and cheese pie. Very popular. Their chicken pie topped with crisps is also amazing.

Having heard some good things about this wee place, we decided to stop en-route home. How disappointing was it to find a thriving busy place, staffed by rude and angry seeming staff that clearly thought that customers were an inconvenience. Yes, it was their first day open after the new year holidays, Yes, it was busy, but whatever happened to customer service? Big disappointment.

We were visitors in Thornhill and just so loved this bakery - even bought loaves to take home at the end of our holiday. The staff were excellent and efficient. One step from five stars - please please consider paper bags for your packaging- NOT plastic!

Having had a cup of coffee at their branch in Heathall industrial estate and found both the produce and staff to be great, I popped into the Thornhill shop to have lunch. I did make a slight mistake in thinking it was quite busy and I'd return after a walk around town! It didn't get any quieter, very popular with the locals, old and young alike, and passers by getting takeaways. I sat down and a lady came to take my order. Lovely BLT on a panini accompanied by coleslaw and side salad washed down with a carton of orange guide all for £4:30, fab.

Anyone visiting Thornhill should stop in at Marchbanks. Marchbanks is easily the best place in Thornhill to stop for breakfast, lunch, there wide range of cakes and pastry’s or even for a loaf of there freshly baked bread. Everything’s so tasty and all the girls make u feel welcome and compared to all the other places to eat in Thornhill, Marchbanks is so underpriced. Definitely worth a visit

Good service, terrific variety of bakery food and coffee/tea. Try to avoid school lunch hour. Convenient location at centre of Thornhill, just near the chocolate shop.

We stopped for a coffee and stayed for lunch. Delicious sandwiches, good coffee and proper pineapple tarts. Yum. Friendly staff and easy parking nearby. Unfortunately the following day we bought steak pies which were full of good steak but the pies were far too salty.

How do you tell a good baker ? You look at the queue to get in ! Tables are full with locals having breakfast ,tradesmen dropping in for a bite to eat .Its part of a group of shops throughout Dumfrieshire and the quality is assured . The morning rolls are superb

Visited the Frothy this morning for the first & very last time as the cafe is closing. Whilst the cafe was comfortable the coffee wasn’t the best ever tasted and we were stunned at the price! Compared to other coffee houses close by it was surprising; could this be a reason they are not finding it profitable?

Went for breakfast & the place was pretty quiet. Disappointed with portion size. Ordered 2 x breakfast & 2 x cup of teas which came to £25.75. Gave feedback to member of staff & they were not interested. Won’t be back.

I go here regularly for a carvery as it is one of the best I have been to. I am a very fussy eater and to find a carvery that serves chicken as an option is surprising difficult. The three meats to choose from are usually chicken, beef and gammon/ham. The veg/side options usually include cauliflower cheese, broccoli, carrots, Yorkshire pudding, cocktail sausages and stuffing, but the roast tatties are my favourite part of the meal! You are limited to going up to fill your plate only once but I usually leave feeling very full. Sometimes I have soup as a starter as well depending on what kind it is. I highly recommend giving the carvery a go for anyone who is a fan of a good roast!

This cafe served the worst scone I have ever had / didn't have. (and that's saying something as I'm in my 70s and have had a few in my time. You could build a house with a few of them. Inedible expensive rubbish. It came in a paper bag, no plate and a wooden disposable knife which struggled to cut it. The coffee was served in a paper cup. But was drinkable. Cost over £13 for two coffees and two inedible scones. I am disgusted and will definitely won't be back

Friendly, relaxed, flexible and fun. Nick was a brilliant teacher and good company. Took Mother for some quality time together and she was immediately put at ease and we both had a lovely time. Will definitely go again. If you want quality experiences with friends and family AND you want to learn some great life skills to boot then book your place!
